Peppermint

Sometimes you just need a little dessert, am I right? Well, the good news is, you can still have dessert while nourishing your body and satisfying that craving. These healthy dessert ideas are easy to make and are pretty darn delicious.

If you want to know all the benefits of each ingredient I talk about it in the video here.

Almond Butter Swirl Brownies

What makes these brownies is the decadent swirl of almond butter which not only adds healthy fats that will keep your blood sugar stable but also protein to help keep you full. They are wonderfully fudgy and you would never guess how healthy they are!

Transfer into a bowl and add in remaining ingredients except for the almond butter.

Stir together until combined.

Pour out into a greased baking dish, I used a round 9 inch pan.

Add the almond butter in four large spoonfuls on the top and swirl into batter using a knife.

Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.

Allow to cool 10 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy and store in the fridge for 5 days or freeze and defrost as you want.

Strawberries And Cream

This has been one of my favorite easy and quick desserts for a long time. It feels a lot more decadent than it is and assembles really quick. Plus, with the sweetness of the strawberries you really don’t miss the sugar.

Peppermint Cups

These are the perfect thing to store in the freezer and take one out whenever you have a craving. They are made with an easy paleo chocolate, coconut butter, and peppermint, making for a refreshing treat.

I drink peppermint tea multiple times a day, and I really can’t get enough. If you want to know why I love peppermint tea so much and why it’s so great, read my tips below!

Throwing a few peppermint leaves into so hot water is the best way to make peppermint tea!

Aids Digestion

This is one of the main reasons I love peppermint tea. It helps with bloating, digestion and gas, making it great to have after meals. Not to mention helping to calm an upset stomach. Anything that will help keep my stomach flat and happy, I am all for. I typically make a cup after lunch and after dinner.

Freshens Breath

Well hey, mint is in the name. But it actually does keep your breath fresh! The antibacterial properties in the tea kill the germs that cause bad breath, leaving you fresh and clean.

Reduces Appetite

Both the smell and drinking this tea helps to reduce appetite. Meaning it can help you crush cravings, prevent over-eating, and stay on track to be healthy.

Reduces stress

The menthol in mint is a natural sedative and antispasmodic, meaning it will help clear any mental stress. Yes, please. It can also help reduce blood pressure, allowing you to unwind and relax. Try a cup before bed to help prevent any late night restless thoughts! (For an added bonus diffuse some peppermint oil during the night as well!)

Boosts immune system

If you’re like me, you don’t have time to get sick. So I rely on peppermint tea for its antibacterial properties to help with coughs and colds. It fights off illness and helps your body function in a healthy way. LOVE.
